Recommend a tent!

[h0m3sy]

I'm looking to camp on site at this years oople race but I'm undecided on what tent to buy? Has anyone got any recommendations? There will be 2 of us and preferably something easy to put up and take down. Thanks in advance.

if it's just for kipping in, you can't go wrong with this, flies up in seconds and doesn't take up too much boot space either http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/outdo...FZShtAodzFMARQ

Depends what you want it for - is it just for sleeping or will you be cooking, storing stuff etc.

If I speak with my Scout Leader hat on, then firstly I would always advise you go for a size at least 1 man bigger than you need (i.e. if there are 2 of you, go for a 3 man etc). A decent sized porch area is good for storage / cooking.
A pop up is certainly easy - practice taking it down in advance as that is inversely proportional to the ease of erection.

Vango do some great low/mid priced tents as do the outdoor shop "Go Outdoors" - their "Hi-Gear" range is very good and often mirrors higher priced brands.
Sewn in ground sheet means warmer, less likelihood to leak, but also less air flow - NO NOT TRY TO BBQ INSIDE A TENT WITHOUT AIRFLOW.

Hope this helps

if you can find 1 the Quechua Base 4.1 is awesome.

the bedroom part can sleep 4, for 2 it's a palace - and the main area you can stand up in and 2 can pit comfortably in.

Erected (hehe) in literally seconds and put away in a few minutes.

Quecha all the way,

takes some getting used to folding it back up however.
